Amiga vs. PC DOS

[Tan]

The early models of Deep Space Nine were done on an Amiga 2000 using Lightwave.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that had an Amiga back when. I had been a Commodore 128 user for a few years so the jump to Amiga seemed natural. I bought myself a 500 in 91 or 92 and used it all the way through college. It went through several upgrades during the 4 or 5 years I used it including ram and an HD sidecar. It still works and is still configured the same way I had it when I was actively using it. I've moved on to a 4000 recently, so I don't use the 500 anymore, but it will always be around.

I do remember it wasn't until some of the early CD ROM games came out for the PC that I started to take notice of what they were doing. But for anything else, the Amiga was the way to go. Tons of great games that I will still spend hours playing!

My first computer was in 1994 when I was 9. It was a Packard Bell 486 50Mhz system with 8MB memory. Our harddrive was 200 MB with 3.25" floppy and a 4x CD-ROM drive. Yeah, I was spoiled using AOL on my dads account.

Well, walking away from memory lane I really wish those computers of the 80's such as Commodore, Amiga, MAC or Atari. Just about the only machines I can find around here are x86 PCs from mid-late 90's. I only have 1 Amiga game and have yet to try it on an emulator as it's an expansion that requires the original (go figure).

As for comparisons there are just too many DOS/Win95 games I enjoy from then and now so if it were executed right on another platform then I'd be something to interest me.
